NAB 2012 optics post op...

Fujinon... still drooling over it.

Any more details(pics) on the new Schneider Cine Xenars? I heard they listened to the professional community and have changed to internal focusing so no more barreling forward when focusing and the iris gear is now closer to rear of the lens instead of the other way around. A video from NAB would be good since not even Schneider's website has been updated to reflect these changes. I also heard they've added a couple focal lengths BUT have jacked their prices way up for a six-lense set. Need a video or info from the show floor to confirm all this...

They are on the mkiii version. Much improved.

No front element movement, all are same length, same diameter. User changeable focus/meter scales.

Felt very smooth. Looked very good.

18/25/35/50/75/95mm set for $48k

Thanks Matt! Now to see how they perform...Hopefully some footage surfaces soon.

Does the Fujinon cover 5K?

[Paul Hazlett]

fuji covers 5k full frame. my man at abel tells me they have sold 50 already....i am on that list....somewhere

I was talking to my friend at Fuji mid afternoon on Day 1 of NAB. They already had sold 200 of cabrios at that point!

[Paul Hazlett]

Fuji has the infrastructure from many years of eng lens manufacturing in large numbers, lets hope they put it to good use!

[James Brundige]

BTW, the Fujinon does not support focus confirm, at least the demo at NAB. We were wondering about that in another thread.
